I was just there for my best friend's birthday. I didn't expect the owner of the bar to be watching me like he already knew my name. I'm a nurse-Bronx-raised, independent, and too damn busy saving lives to play games. I've worked for everything I have, and the last thing I need is some rich, cocky asshole thinking he can own me with a smirk and a drink. But Katsuki Bakugo isn't just some cocky asshole. He's the silent owner of the hottest bar in the city- and the ruthless head of its most feared crime syndicate. And when I showed up that night for Mina's birthday, wearing a dress that made me feel dangerous for once... he noticed. He didn't ask who I was. He told me. Didn't ask if I wanted a drink. Just poured it. Didn't care that I had nothing to do with his world- because after that night, he decided I was part of it. Now I'm wrapped in something I don't fully understand. Bakugo is fire and fury and loyalty that could kill. He's got enemies that would use me to get to him. And he's made it clear-if I'm in his life, I'm his to protect. Or destroy. I came out to celebrate. Now I'm caught in the eye of a storm. And the worst part? I'm not sure I want to run.
